Also shown the 2 albine forms of Phragmipedium and some of Cypripedium are
Just this time it is not available in the normal bookstores, only by Ebay in Germany. But I think there will be also a way to bring this book to USA

Sounds like a very desirable book. :hyper:
Unfortunately, we here in the USA did not even have the priviledge to see the first book yet.
Is there a way to get them in USA?
Maybe you can arange something out with Dean from Paphiness as a distrisbuter in the US (last time , I got the Paph book of Taiwan IV from him)
